Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Vertigo Software: I See Dead People with WPF http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/previewImages/100/249382_100x75.jpg Channel 9 - Vertigo Software: I See Dead People with WPF If you want to learn a new technology, there’s no better way to go about it than to pore over the source of a real application. Nine months ago we commissioned Vertigo Software to create a reference sample for WPF and Windows Vista, and at MIX we unveiled Family.Show to the world. This application is beautiful both as source code and as running software – and it’s free to download. Dr Sneath sat down with Scott Stanfield, Alan Le and Paul Osburn to find out more about how they built the application and the lessons they learnt in creating it. Check out the MIX session too! en Sat, 25 May 2013 17:14:38 GMT Sat, 25 May 2013 17:14:38 GMT Rev9 Re: Vertigo Software: I See Dead People with WPF posted by CplCarrot

We haven't had time to include the licensing yet (I am sending out email reminders on this now) but you can assume it's the Microsoft Permissive License:

It really shows off the talent of both Vertigo developers and the developers of the .NET framework.

One small bug: don't try to drag out text from a details view textbox control into the canvas

I can't seem to find the "Family" Schema. What Genealogy XML specification did you use?

Basically once you've entered a name, have an Import Details button on the Details panel.

I guess I've got the code... feel free to tell me to do it myself Smiley

You might want to state what version of GEDCOM this is compatible with. 5.5 is current. You may want to either say GEDCOM 5.5 or do some testing.

Hi CaffieneHi,

You're correct. Family.show is compatible with importing and exporting GEDCOM 5.5.


I can't seem to find the "Family" Schema. What Genealogy XML specification did you use?


Our .family file is the serialized representation of the family.show .NET objects and not the Genealogy GEDCOM 6.0 beta schema.

Hope this helps,
Alan Le

Cool app!  Q.  When adding women (i.e. my wife) do I use her birth name or my last name?


A. It's open to interpretations, so either will work.  To reduce complexity we didn't distinguish maiden name from the married last name.

Note to Channel 9: find a quieter place to record.  I found the background conversation really distracting.

CahillNet, sorry about that - we recorded this at the MIX conference Las Vegas, and this was actually the quietest place around (we took over one of the press briefing rooms). Maybe we can find a better directional microphone next time. Hope it didn't ruin the video completely.
